Inspiration

My cousin Sarah came over today and she convinced me to run TWO miles with her! So I'm 7 miles down, with 23 to go. I think I've finally found something that works for me to keep me on track with exercising. Most people have somewhat normal schedules, so they just pick a time to work out each day that works for them. But when you work nights, and work 12s - you end up working most of one week and then one off, which wrecks havoc on scheduled daily activities, at least for me. So now I just run when I can and don't stress about it if I can't. And when I eventually reach 30 miles - I get to buy myself a treat :) Kinda silly but I'm still getting outside and running and its been 3 weeks!


Last night, I hung out with my family, we watched the Olympics and Rach and I did some scrapbooking. We saw two Apollo Ono's race, he was disqualified in one and the USA team took bronze in the relay. We also watched Kim Yu-Na take gold in figure-skating, and 18 points over the last world record!! It's also really neat that Jeannie Rochette took the bronze with everything she has gone through...


I'm starting to see some plants popping up outside and I'm really excited to see what they turn out to be. Jon and I planted some crocuses and daffodils last fall when we moved in but everything else has been around for awhile, mostly like from 2 owners back - I get the impression that the lady was a really intense gardener. So we have a bunch of surprise plants! Today I put up a 'hand-me-d9wn' birdfeeder from my mom. We'll see who finds it first - the birds or squirrels. No takers so far...
